I made it through day 1, the day of making plans. My stepmother was tolerable. She managed to only bring up once the fact that we never visited my father. My aunt, on the other hand, made a big production about how depressed he was on Monday that none of his children had visited him over the weekend. This expectation from a "parent" who didn't know or care that my brother has been in the hospital three times in the past year. And a "parent" who was mad that my sister was in the psych. hospital and couldn't take care of him while my stepmother had surgery.
My pdoc increased the dosage of one of my anti-depressants today, but would not prescribe any other drugs. I understand why. I am not very dependable with taking my prescribed drugs correctly. She only gives single prescriptions and I have appts. every two weeks.
So, I have two more days to go. Tomorrow, the visitation and then Sunday, the funeral. I am following the advice of my t and all of you, and it is helping.
Thanks,
